1. John Eastman, author of infamous coup memos, is an eminently respectable member of the legal establishment as both a professor and star in The Federalist Society. His role as an advocate for a coup should spark an effort to delegitimize not just him but that establishmenthttps://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1441004137165041670 …

3. We're already seen civil society sanction in people speaking out about Eastman's upcoming participation in a big political science conference. But I would insist that the sanction should extend beyond Eastman to institutions that support him.https://twitter.com/davekarpf/status/1440861182093508611 …

4. Something like The Federalist Society has power in part because media liberal legal types, universities & moderate Republicans treat it as legitimate institution, participate in its events, elevate its voice, etc. What if they just didn't?

6. What's true of Federalist applies also to Claremont. The Eastman case should be an occasion for asking what role these institutions play in American society and whether they deserve sanction:https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/ostracise-john-eastman?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

Rock and a hard place, isn't it
@HeerJeet? Ostracize someone out of their big tent, they'll be subject to the hounds of anti-cancel-culture. They may still be pondering but I suspect they've made their choice. Anyone intellectual in their general vicinity is part of their club.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

He also spoke onstage at the Jan. 6th pre-insurrection rally, yelling & riling up the insurrectionists. There is video of him speaking.
